Scan_Criteria

Scan Criteria

Specify which files a particular scan type should scan using file attributes such as file type and extension. Also specify conditions that will trigger scanning. For example, configure Real-time Scan to scan each file after it is downloaded to the computer.

User Activity on Files

Choose activities on files that will trigger Real-time Scan. Select from the following options:

• Scan files being created/modified: Scans new files introduced into the computer (for example, after downloading a file) or files being modified

• Scan files being retrieved/executed: Scans files as they are opened

• Scan files being created/modified and retrieved/executed

For example, if the third option is selected, a new file downloaded to the computer will be scanned and stays in its current location if no security risk is detected. The same file will be scanned when a user opens the file and, if the user modified the file, before the modifications are saved.

Scan Target

Select from the following options.

• All scannable files: Scan all files

• File types scanned by IntelliScan: Only scan files known to potentially harbor malicious code, including files disguised by a harmless extension name. See IntelliScan for details.

• File or folder name with full path: Only scan the specified file or files found in a specific folder.
